The Ka-Band Probe Radar (KPR) is a compact, airborne radar system developed by ProSensing Inc. It measures radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and spectrum width profiles at 35.6 GHz. It offers selectable range resolutions of 30, 75, 100, or 150 meters and a data rate of 5 Hz. KPR includes a pair of 14 cm flat-plate arrays with a 4.5-degree beam width. It is installed on the aircraft in a standard Particle Measurement Systems (PMS) canister.
